Minutes:

The Strategic Director, Place presented Document “S”.  Plans and photographs were displayed in respect of each application and representations summarised.

 

(a)       Land at Braithwaite Avenue, Keighley                         Keighley West

 

Construction of retail and residential development at land at Braithwaite Avenue, Keighley - 17/00296/FUL

 

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He explained that the application proposed the construction of a small retail and residential development.  It was a good proposal that provided two modest housing units and was a similar scheme to that in existence.  A number of representations had been submitted in relation to traffic issues and the lack of parking, however, the Council’s Highways officer believed that a high proportion of customers would live locally and walk to the shops.  There was a communal rear yard and two parking spaces would be provided for residents of the flats and shop staff.  The Strategic Director, Place explained that conditions 2 and 3 on the application would mitigate the highway safety issues, subject to an amendment to condition 3 and he then recommended the application for approval.

 

Members acknowledged that the proposal was a good use for a desolate site.   

 

Resolved –

 

That the application be approved for the reasons and subject to the conditions set out in the Strategic Director, Place’s technical report and subject to the amendment of condition 3 as follows:

 

“The development shall not be brought in to use until all best endeavours have been undertaken to implement a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) on Braithwaite Avenue; Broster Avenue; and/or Coronation Mount.  A scheme indicating the extents and full details of the TRO shall first be agreed with and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.”

(ii)        Application for advertisement consent for the installation of an internally illuminated box sign at 200 Leeds Road, Shipley - 17/00864/ADV

 

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He informed the Panel that one of the applications was for external roller shutters and the other for an internally illuminated box sign, which were both retrospective.  The property was situated in a row of buildings that were all shops on the ground floor and planning permission was granted in 2014 to change the premises to a fish and chip shop.  The security shutter had been installed and was subject to enforcement action, as the Council’s Supplementary Planning Document ‘A Shopkeepers Guide to securing their Premises’ was against solid roller shutters on the outside of premises.  The Strategic Director, Place confirmed that various letters in support had been submitted including one from a Ward Councillor, which outlined the anti-social behaviour issues in the area and that the other shops on the parade had shutters.  He explained that the information provided by the  ...  view the full minutes text for item 52.
